Really?

Is that really considered a 10 under their guidlines ?

    I have to agree. That is one nasty PSA 10.

    Quitting the hobby? You just joined CU this month! You have to stay on at least long enough so you can meet Kurt Adler and the Asian dude.

    At first I couldn't understand at first what was wrong with it; then I noticed the picture on the card is tilted image

    Seriously, that is one of the ugliest 10s I've ever seen! image

    It just goes to prove the old adage "Buy the card, not the holder".

    Steve,

    That is the same thing I think to myself every time I see a post like this.

    Grading is done by people. People will make mistakes.

    As a card buyer you need to decide if you agree with the grade provided.

  • alnavmanalnavman Posts: 4,129 ✭✭✭
    could it be that the card itself is slanted towards the upper left??? I've had cards that float around the slab a bit and they sometimes look askew overall but it's just that the card isn't straight in the slab.

    I bet you that if that was a 53 Mantle it would have graded an 8.

    I realize everyone makes mistakes and i believe in the adage buy the card not the holder but that card is just too ugly to be in a PSA 10 holder.

    And for what it's worth, i've been a member here since 2001. Just decided to change my user name when i turned the big 4 0 . Im getting too old to be called KOBE lol

    IMO - a tilt should automatically disqualify a card from a 10.

    Something seems wrong with the lower right corner of the case... maybe cracked and switched?

    No. A lot of holders look like that, and it's really of no concern.

    Another thing about that card.....

    It is not the "normal" diamond cut. It appears that the card itself is square (ok...rectangular image ).

    The design though, is tilted on the card.

  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    A little melodramatic I think.

    Steve


    yeah I see the tilt.

    I would not quit my hobby over it.












    Good for you.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Yeah we call that a tilt.


    lol

    Good for you.

    Wonderful. Another badly tilted PSA 10

    A recent epidemic, IMO.
    I never used to see 9s and 10s this bad.
  • storm888storm888 Posts: 11,701 ✭✭✭

    I want 10s to be perfect and 9s to be nearly perfect.

    Tilted cards are neither.

    Yeah, that is a weak 10. The grader missed it for sure.
  • CubbyCubby Posts: 2,096 ✭
    Looks to me to be an optical illusion. The right side of the card is higher.

    I posted this same Dr J rookie in a thread comparing it to my PSA 9 OC and most thought the grade on that straight 9 was justifiable.

    I agree with this, but also go with many of the above posters that you buy the card and not the plastic...

    It's a bit over the top to suggest quitting the hobby because of the grade of a modern common card...
  • MorgothMorgoth Posts: 3,950 ✭✭✭
    Bill I don't on that Dr. J. I personally feel if the are going to hammer the low pop cards, they need to make sure they don't hand out PSA 9's on important HOF rcs like that. I don't think anyone would disagree that the eye appeal of a card like that should not be higher than an 8.

    The print dot alone, on that card, destroys the eye appeal for me. It draws my attention for the second I look at it.

    who cares

    that card is not worth the grading fees anyway...

    all that sellers PSA cards are worth less than the probable grading fees.....
